Love Island’s Sam Bird has claimed he broke off his relationship with Georgia Steele after finding a secret selfie of her in bed with her ex-boyfriend.

Speaking to The Sun, the 25-year-old claimed his suspicions were first aroused after Georgia didn’t return home from a PA, and went onto find secret messages to her ex on her phone.

It comes after Georgia exclusively told MailOnline she did spent the night at her ex’s but in the spare room, confessing she felt ‘trapped’ in their relationship and only stayed with Sam to prove a point to the public.

Upset: Love Island’s Sam Bird has claimed he broke off his relationship with Georgia Steele after finding a secret selfie of her in bed with her ex-boyfriend

Brutal: Sam told The Sun his suspicions were first aroused after Georgia didn’t return home from a PA, and went onto find secret messages to her ex on her phone

Sam said: ‘I looked at her phone and found messages she sent to her mates and one of them had a selfie of her in bed with her ex and she put the word ‘oops’ and joked about it and I thought that’s not right.

‘Telling your ex you want their d*** isn’t banter. I saw these messages late at night while she was asleep and I screenshot them so she couldn’t lie about it. I wanted proof so she couldn’t get out of it.

‘My gut feeling was found to be true. She’s not the person I thought she was.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Georgia Steel for comment.

Not my fault: It comes after Georgia exclusively told MailOnline that while she did spent the night with her ex it was in the spare room, and she did NOT cheat on Sam

But Georgia exclusively told MailOnline that while she did spend the night with her ex, it was in a spare room and did not cheat on him.

The self-confessed ‘loyal’ star added that she fell out of love with Sam and that led to the split, admitting that she stayed in the ‘loveless’ relationship just to prove a point to the public.

She said: ‘There was NO third party involved in the break up between him and I.

‘Sam thinks I cheated because he went through my phone and threatened to sell the screenshots to the press.

‘He read and took screen shots of banter I had between me and my best mate.

‘The banter was about my ex boyfriend from which he’s then put two and two together and come up with an imaginary scenario.’

All over: The couple went their separate ways just hours after this photo was taken at the ITV Palooza on Tuesday night – but Georgia says she did remain loyal to Sam

However, Georgia admitted she hasn’t been completely innocent.

She said: ‘I will put my hands up and say yeah I do admit I went round [to my ex’s] house and stayed the night in the spare room but NOTHING did happen.

‘I’m honestly not like that. I went over to collect some things which he had of mine which I needed for the flat and then ended up having a heart to heart as I was very down as me and Sam had been constantly arguing.

‘Sam now wants to believe that I did cheat on him but in reality the relationship ended due to the fact I fell out of love.’

Georgia has implied there is now no going back for the couple.

She said: ‘He was a lovely boyfriend and I did really love him but moving in so soon and the public pressure did make me feel very trapped.

‘I gave our relationship everything as I really did want it to work and I was loyal throughout. But you can’t help your feelings.

‘I’m stubborn and wanted to prove the public wrong about me and him but the reality is it just didn’t work.

‘I really do hope he finds the girl for him as he has so much to give and does deserve to find love. And I really hope I find the man for me too in the future.’

Something to say: After speaking to MailOnline, Georgia posted her statement to her Instagram stories

Georgia’s words come a day after a source told MailOnline: Sam found out she had gone to her ex-boyfriend’s flat without telling him and he was pretty annoyed.

‘He and Georgia had dated up until a few months before she went on Love Island and she still had belongings stored at his place from when they used to live together.

‘She hasn’t cheated on Sam, there has been no sleeping around and she only went round as a one-off. But it doesn’t sit well with him that she didn’t tell him.’

Sam admitted how devastated he is about the split on social media but the source also told MailOnline the writing has been on the wall for a while.

Awkward: Amid the chaos, Georgia previously vehemently denied claims made by the Mirror Online that she was romantically involved with her tour manager Steven West

They said: ‘In reality, the relationship has been coming to an end for a while. They’ve been doing PA’s at opposite ends of the country and hardly see one another.’

Amid the chaos, Georgia vehemently denied claims made by the Mirror Online that she was romantically involved with her tour manager Steven West.

Steven West is a third man and not the ex-boyfriend Sam is referring to.

The ‘loyal’ beauty made further claims a romance with West was ‘laughable’ as she reiterated he is her tour manager who drives her to her press days.

She wrote via Instagram stories: ‘The story of myself being linked with Steven West. This is laughable.

‘He is my tour manager who drives me to all my PAs. Nothing more.’

Their romance was previously rocked when fans accused Sam of being at a ‘girl’s house’ while she was away.

Tweeting a photo of Sam on his phone while sitting on a sofa, a user wrote in August: ‘Hey @georgia_steel where was @SamRobertBird on the weekend? Not so LOYAL.’

Georgia replied: ‘By the looks of it babe he’s ordering a Uber home sweetheart’ accompanied by a laughing face emoji.

The fan hit back: ‘No s**t Sherlock, that’s what most guys do when they leave a girls house.’
